Creamy, flavorful Garlic Tahini Sauce is perfect for drizzling over buddha bowls, salads, shawarma and more! It's easy to make in 10 minutes and so supremely creamy!
Remove the cloves of garlic from the bulb, but leave the garlic cloves unpeeled.
Place them in a blender with the lemon juice and pulse for 15-20 seconds, or until a pulpy puree is formed.
Hold a fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl and pour the garlic lemon juice through the strainer.
Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture through the strainer.
Keep pushing through the strainer until only the thick pulp is left behind. Discard this pulp.
Add cumin, salt and tahini paste to the lemon/garlic juice. This will form a very thick paste.
Drizzle in cold water 1-2 tablespoons at a time, while stirring constantly. Continue adding cold water and stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Store the prepared sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
